In this sample I will show you how you can get YTD (year to date), LYTD (last year to date) and even YTD for two years back or more. When getting YTD we will use the TotalYTD function. And for LYTD we will use TotalYTD in combination with SAMEPERIODLASTYEAR. But if you want YTD for 2 years back you have to add even additional functions.

Please note that this sample requires a date dimension that has the date 2006/01/16. If you are unsure about this you will have to change the query. The -364 approach will have issues if last year was a leap years.
